I really like it on the dark MUP at night where there are cats, mice and skunks sitting on the side of the path where they are harder to see.
I'll have to figure out how to use manual settings on my camera, but I'll try to get some beamshots that are honest.
Post the make and model of your camera and I'll tell you how to set it up. Agree a combination of helmet and bar lighting works best and look forward to seeing your shots. And now before we completely derail this thread, lets keep in mind that the OP's original concern was for a light for day-time riding.
